An Unexpected Year.

Max.

When I finally stop staring at him, I see Sam and Jake looking at me with a huge smile.
- What ?
- Nothing, nothing.
- Oh, shut up.
We all laugh and enjoy the last hours of the day.
Around five pm, I ask Sam to come help me for tonight.
It must be like six when I finally choose my outfit, and must be seven and a half when I am ready.
- Okay, I'm ready.
Sam stops me and looks at me seriously.
- No, no, no, no.
- Oh come on ! Just a little bit !
- You know that I don't like make up.
- Yeah, I know but you're going on a date with a very pretty boy so you don't have the choice.
I sigh and I sit in the bed.
- Okay, do your thing.
- Yessss ! Finally !
- Hurry up before I change my mind.
- I'm comiiing.
When she finally is done with putting make up all over my face, I get a text from Max.
"Meet me at the pool at eight, hope you're gonna enjoy the night."

It's eight o'clock in five minutes, I'm already at the pool, I was too stressed about being late and staying with Samantha wasn't a good idea.

- Hey.

I look up and see Max with a huge smile and in a beautiful smoking. He's handsome.

- Hey.

I try to smile but I'm not gonna lie, he's kind of intimidating.

- You look stunning.

Aaaaaand, I'm blushing.
- Thank you, you look good too.

He smiles as a thank you and offers me his hand.

- Shall we ?
- With joy ! Where are you taking me tonight ?
- Well first of all, we have to get out of the hotel.
- Oh, why ?
- Because that isn't romantic enough.

A romantic guy, oh, I'm really goona like that guy.
We are walking for about ten minutes and none of us is talking, it's kind of.. weird.
- So, where are you from ?
- Los Angeles,
- Oh damn !
- Yeah aha, I know.. What about you ?
- I'm from London, but I think you already knew it.
His smile truly is a blessing, I hope he always smiles.
- That's awesome, I've never been to London before. Why did you leave ?
- Well, I wanted to try the American Dream you know ?
- Oh, we don't do that anymore.
We both laugh, I already love that night.
- So I decided to finish my studies in Los Angeles.
- That's weird that I've never seen you before, wheres your school ?
- It's near Beverly Hills, but as you know, it's kind of a big city, that might be why you didn't see me before.
- That's funny, my school is also in BH.
We arrive at the beach where there's a little restaurant.
- Oh, we are here.
We go in and I am speechless, there's only one  little table with musicians next to it and candles literally everywhere.
- Wow.. It is.. It's beautiful Max !
We can see at his face that he is proud of himself and I don't find it narcissistic, not at all, I find it cute.
We start eating and talk about everything and nothing.
- I can't believe you play all those instruments !
- Well my dad is an artist, I grew up in this world.
- That's awesome, really, I wish I had an artist in my family.
- What are the job of your parents ?
- My mom is a lawyer.
- That's cool !
Okay but why didn't I meet him before ?
- What about your dad ?
I don't answer, I don't want to talk about him with him, not tonight.
So I choose to talk about something else.
- So, where are you from exactly ?
He looks surprise, as if my question was weird.
- A little city near London.
- That's so cool ! I've always wanted to visit England and Europe in general.
- I could show you around if you want.
He has this little smile that shows me how shy he really is.
- I would love to.
As I smile, his smile gets bigger and seems so happy.

He insists to pay the restaurant and after five minutes, I let him pay.

- Thank you for tonight, it was awesome.
- And the night just started.
I look at him, confused.
He laughs which shows his dimples that I didn't notice before.
He truly is beautiful, can't believe he asked me out.
- You will see, it's nothing dangerous.
- I hope so !
The last thing I want to do is die in a country that isn't mine with some guy.
